About

The wilds of Hyrule make for a puzzling game of survival. Climb cliffs to scope out a destination; then cross great distances with the Paraglider or the horses you've tamed. You'll discover items for crafting, beasts to hunt, and plants to forage. So scavenge weapons and armor…or claim them from enemies! From hammers to helmets, items have specific stats, resistances, effects, and levels of durability. Use everything at your disposal to find and conquer more than 100 Shrines. Luckily, the in-game Sheikah Slate can project Runes that manipulate objects and enemies in clever ways. Forget everything you know about the Legend of Zelda series.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
One of the best games I've ever played and probably my 2017 game of the year. If we judge only in terms of exploitation and world it's probably the greatest game ever made and it's my personal favorite Zelda game. The only reason why it's not a 10 for me is because I have some issues with it. The dull combat, uninteresting shrines, and underwhelming final boss all come to mind. Still this is 100% worth playing and is one of the greatest games of all time in my opinion.

This game is a 10/10 for me. It's one of those games where you think: "Can I do this??" and 95% of the time, you can. Even better is the fact that this game is **Endless**. There's always so much more to do in this game that after 6 years, im still only 48% done this game. Even if more than half of the game's percentage is just finding little Koroks everywhere, it still feels good to see your progress slowly grow after each little find. If you have a Switch, **you must play this game!!**

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Explorer's Edition
final boss and gameplay after the final boss is disappointing, brings it down from a 10 to a 9.2 for me
